domari:rev. dave: My cat was a rescue from foreclosure. But was outside when rescued.

What's sad is how common this happens. We've taken in so many cats left behind when people lose their homes. We took in a litter of kittens that a landlord found in the closet a few days after his tenants moved out. Luckily he checked the house when he did or the kittens would have died in there,. I don't know why people just can't bring them to a shelter or rescue instead of leaving them behind to die. I don't know if you were here when we had Vanna. Her family lost their home, moved out and left her there, pregnant. She was starved until a neighbor found her and gave her to us.

Aww Vanna :3If she was never found the Epic Alien Invasion would never have happened.Or Delta Derp.

So I was at my best friends place, and I got sucked into his bed of doom (seriously...his bed is ebil, you even go nears it, it sucks you and makes you honk shu for days!) and since he was making dinner he let me sleep till it was ready.

Apparently, it took him 20 minutes to wake me up.The usual method didn't work so he started to pretend "bite" me with his fingers...I guess I automatically thought it was Ben Hurr because he said I kept swatting him away and mumbling "Nooo Benners...lemme sleep...Benners! Benners stop it" then I started giggling in my sleep and woke myself up :3He laughed at me the rest of the night.Seriously...I could have sworn it was Ben Hurr it felt just like his tiny teeth :3

So...on Thursday night, shortly after dinner, I looked at Caesar and was like WTF, what did you do to your ear?? Turns out he had an aural hematoma. Basically, one or more blood vessels in his ear broke and his ear swelled up and filled with blood. It looked like it was ready to burst. This is not the first time this has happened to him but it was the first time since we've had him. Apparently, in the past when this has happened, it was not taken care of properly and that is why he has cauliflower ears. Long story short, CDK took him to see the doc on Friday. it was decided to not have the button surgery done but, instead, to drain all that blood and then inject his ear with steroids. He is also on pred for a couple of weeks to see if that helps. Since his ears had no sign of infection or mites, the doc thinks it may be some sort of food allergy causing him to scratch so we'll be switching food to see if that helps.

I didn't get a picture of his ear on Thursday but I wish I had. It was swollen about 4 times more than it is now and pointed straight out like Pippi Longstocking's braids. Here's a pic of how his ear looks tonight, still full of steroids, and one of him just looking sad sitting with CDK a little while ago. Poor guy...you can tell he still just isn't feeling right :(

Poor little guy :-(

Give him loves for me and butt sniffs from Suzy.

You don't have to actually sniff his butt, just tell him Suzy sends butt sniffs.
